Hello! Hope your week has been well. I’ve just watched the show for the first time but unfortunately my Hindi is a little weaker than I would like so I’m not sure if this has been covered on the show or maybe in your asks? I’m sorry if this is a repeat question. I was just wondering if we know about the Raizada family specifically, in terms of whether they’re meant to have generational wealth/is the house ancestral or if Arnav built it. Arnav is “self made” but I’m not sure whether we’re meant to understand the Raizadas as independently wealthy or if the wealth we see is all due to AR doing well as a company. For other Gul shows I’ve noticed class differences are shown thru dialect but Nani seems to be speaking the same dialect as the Guptas so is hard for me to tell. Thank you!
Hello there!
Welcome to Jalebi Weds Bluetooth <3 I love your ask!
I do think I have answered something regarding this but there's never been an in depth answer to this so I'm glad I can think about this!
LONG ANSWER ALERT
Regarding The Raizada's Wealth
Arnav comes from generational wealth from both sides of his family. The Maliks and the Raizadas are incredibly wealthy. I'd say the Raizadas wealth comes from textiles and land. There's nothing concrete here but in Anjali's party Mama-ji does refer to old clients and there seems to be discussion of land, mills in the little business conversations we have in the show.
We know Arnav and Anjali have no wealth from the Maliks' end as Arnav's uncle fraudulently claimed all assets after his brother's death and squandered that away. And I guess by the time Devyani (Nani) brought the kids to her place, the Raizadas were suffering financially as well.
The Raizadas were rich, rich enough to send both the kids - Akash and Arnav - abroad for education (I assume Akash went as well). Harvard is an expensive university - even if we consider Arnav and Akash got scholarship for their degrees.
So I think with the failing wealth of the Raizadas, Arnav probably set up his business idea early on - leaning into the textile background of the Raizadas - and capitalized on that by making a high end fashion brand. And we also know that Mami sold all her jewelry to back Arnav's idea. I'd assume he started thinking of this when he was 18-19. I also feel Arnav never had a childhood after the death of his parents and was very much invested in establishing financial security with the Raizadas ever since he was a teen.
Every memory Arnav brings up of childhood are of days before his parents died, even the ones with Nani and Akash and in the earlier episodes Akash often stated in subtle ways that Arnav grew up very quickly.
So, in the show, Arnav re-establishes the economic status of the family (the Raizadas have always maintained a social status, they never quite disappeared like the Maliks). Arnav only strengthens the social status even further.
Shantivan is a new house. I'd assume the previous Raizada properties were either as a guarantee for loans, sold off or are much smaller compared to what Arnav built for his family.
In the show it is stated several times that Shantivan is Arnav's house (that he bought it) and in lieu of that he is the pseudo head of the family. Which is why Arnav's approval matters so much. And it is also incredibly interesting to watch the struggle Arnav-Nani have at the beginning for she's morally the head of the house, but financially Arnav is.
Also one thing I firmly believe is right in the beginning of the show Arnav is riding on newly found success. He's almost like a young lion who has tasted his first blood. Unlike Shivaay from Ishqbaaz, Arnav's arrogance and fixation with money and status doesn't stem from generational pride and elitism. It stems from financial and social insecurity. His hatred towards conniving middle class people is a direct repercussion of the people he's had to deal with and his own uncle.
Yes, Arnav has never been poor to get to the streets.
But he has faced his assets being stripped away, his family giving up all their money for his education and business idea, and an insecurity over everyone's financial future.
No wonder he was pushed to ensure his family just doesn't get rich, but filthy rich for seven generations.
He is a self made man. Yes he had resources, contacts, backup - but let's simply say that if Arnav didn't exist then the Raizadas wouldn't be having the financial status they had today.
So yes, every sign of wealth we see today is due to Arnav and the empire he built. I think it's very clever how he incorporated his family's textile business.
It's a pity the show really didn't explore this part because it's fascinating! (And Arnav should've been 28 because 26 is an unachievable age for this! If he was a tech guy I'd get it!)
Coming to dialect, I think all the elders in the Raizada household have a strong Lucknowi/UP accent - which is similar to what all the Gupta elders have. While Anjali doesn't have an accent, her Hindi shows her to be very well educated and well versed with the language. She doesn't switch much to English and actually has an incredibly polished Hindi.
Arnav and Akash, Arnav especially, have a very 'returned from abroad' accent that speaks for itself. You know these kids didn't just study at an excellent private school, they definitely went abroad. However, their Hindi is clear enough for you to know that they were raised in India for a significant time.
Also you made an interesting observation about all the elders having similar accents regardless of status. And I think we could factor in what influences accent. I don't think the Raizadas interacted much with foreigners, and learned Hindi in Lucknow - hence the strong Lucknow/UP accent. Definitely they're well versed with English, but prefer not to use it. So since they're usually speaking Hindi - we see their accents. Mamiji tries really hard to speak English because of her fixation with status but we know it works quite the opposite!
Since they all speak Hindi and were very much in their Lucknowi roots, we can see a strong overlap between the way they speak and the Guptas!
The class difference is understandable in the difference of the younger generations' accents. There's hell and heaven difference between Arnav and Khushi's accents. Arnav's Hindi was originally much stronger in the show (in fact there was quite a bit of Urdu there), but he definitely doesn't have the fluency Khushi has (he struggles to read complicated words) whereas Khushi's English has a thick accent and she struggles to speak it fluently (I guess because she had none to speak that language with, you can notice her English get better as she spends time with Arnav because she absorbs a lot with him). Just through dialogues alone you can sense the difference in status between Arnav-Khushi.
However that's not the case with Akash and Payal. Akash has a stronger grip in Hindi and Payal has a stronger grip in English that makes it audio-wise impossible to understand their class difference. Which probably explains how and why their class difference didn't come into the way of them falling in love. It was so easy.
And the Raizadas and Guptas not having a dialect barrier explains why they gel together so well.
Also in other Gul shows it is established that the ML family is established in a metropolitan city for ages which is why their Hindi is incredibly posh while the FL family's dialect is influenced by their locality.
And what's most interesting is that the class difference between the Raizadas and Guptas isn't in their accent but in their vocabulary. Devyani's language is more commanding, direct, polished. She's like "sab ke sab kahaan marr gaye, waqt se aage mat jayiye" - a lot of polished, wise metaphors.
Buaji/Madhumati is like "Sasur ki naati, naas piti, haye re Nandkisore" - phrases that an elite family simply won't utter!
Last thing I love about the language in the show is how Arnav gets better in speaking, wording his emotions over time (especially in Hindi, he usually reverts to English when he's very passionate) and how Khushi absorbs his vocabulary, accent and tone (ugh talk about Sanaya's FANTASTIC acting).
Ok I had A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS.
I hope I made sense?
Best,
JWB

Character Backstory
Andrea was born to a poor seamstress and a carpenter who lived in the city of Orlaith. Although her family wasn’t wealthy, her loving parents cared for Andrea and her brother, Henry with all they had. Her mother, Isadora would teach Andrea how to sew and embroider beautiful patterns, and the two would water plants in their rose garden. Her father would carve wooden sculptures of mermaids, faeries, and goddesses for her and her brother, as well as read them stories before bed.
During the day while their parents were working, she and Henry, would build forts out of blankets and pretend to be knights, fighting dragons, and reenacting the folktales their parents would read to them, while their grandmother would bake them cookies, with the little sugar they could afford. Unfortunately, when she was eight both she and her brother fell sick after contracting scarlet fever. While they were both ill, their grandmother would sing lullabies to them, and tell them the folktales about the war of the great titans, and how the goddess Fira, won her father, Evren’s approval by creating fire. Andrea recovered from the lung virus, but her older brother, Henry, was not so lucky, and he died of the fever at age ten.
As if things couldn’t worse, Andrea’s grandmother died a few months later, contracting the illness while caring for the sick children. After the death of both her mother and her firstborn, Isadora goes into a depressive episode where she wouldn't able to go to bed, work, or feed Andrea. Andrea tries to get her mother to eat and get out of bed, but after multiple failed attempts she takes it upon herself to get a job working at a textile mill at age nine to make her family extra money since her mother’s business went under after her grandmother’s passing. Andrea would come back home exhausted and cry herself to sleep every night, still dealing with the grief of losing her brother and grandmother.
Eventually, her mother starts working as a seamstress again, and Andrea stops working at the factory and begins helping her mother sew dresses. Andrea develops a passion for designing dresses and spends hours embroidering patterns of roses and lilacs. At age thirteen, Isadora gives her daughter her pendant as a birthday gift, the golden necklace and ruby are one of the only valuable things she owns. Andrea cherishes it and wears it constantly, holding it to her chest and thinking about her grandmother at night. A year later, when Andrea is fourteen, tragedy strikes her family once again when her father dies due to an infection after cutting his hand at work, and not cleaning out the wound properly.
After her father’s death, her mother struggled to provide enough food for her, with her job as a seamstress not generating enough income to provide for both of them. After weeks of starving, and eating nothing but stale bread and tea, Isadora begins to fall behind in her taxes and falls into dept. One night, in the pouring rain, guards appear at their house demanding that Isadora pay up. When she can’t give them the money they need, they drag Andrea out of the house, still in her nightgowns, taking her to Javier’s manor to work as an indentured servant to make up for her mother’s loans. Andrea is sobbing when she arrives in the manor, but a kind kitchen maid comforts her and helps her adjust.
In the first few weeks at the manor, Andrea gets scolded constantly for messing things up, she is brutally whipped for spilling hot tea on one of Javier’s consorts, and Emilio and Tobias, make it a game to make her life miserable, tripping her while she's holding trays of boiling hot water, causing her to suffer second-degree burns. After she consistently messes up as a kitchen maid, the housekeeper decides she is not suited for kitchen work. So instead, she spends most of her days doing laundry, cleaning all the rooms, mopping the floors, and more. Eventually, she would adjust to her life as an indentured servant, but Emilio would still harass her constantly.
But during the little free time that she would have, Andrea would go into the garden to pick flowers and braid them into her hair and would hum while she worked, trying to find the good things in life in order to cope with her grief and trauma. Catherine, the kitchen maid that comforted her when she first arrived, would go on to become a pseudo mother figure to her, mending her wounds, braiding her hair and singing to sleep. The two would gossip to each other about the regular drama that would ensue amongst the nobles, and when Catherine was done cooking, she would give Andrea some of her leftovers.
After working at the manor for three years with another six years remaining in her indenture, Andrea noticed that Catherine would get light-headed, and dizzy, and as she began to get more sick, Andrea would take care of her the same way she did for her. Unfortunately, Catherine eventually passed away due to heart failure, with her body being buried in the rose garden behind the manor, where the two used to talk late into midnight about what they would do once they were free. Andrea makes sure to put flowers on Catherine's grave every single night, after hours of working.

Will exhibition clothes at the Design Museum in London or other museums never be worn by anyone ? Do these clothes become pieces of art that not even the brand has access to?
Note: *This just bought back flashbacks of the entire debacle surrounding Kim K and the Marilyn Monroe dress and that video of her team and the Ripley’s team improperly handling that dress while trying it on her (I’m so tired of Kim’s shenanigans)* 😭
In the case of loaning out pieces on exhibit from museums that would depend on a myriad of things mainly the how old the piece is, the risk factors of damage, and ultimately who owns the pieces.
In order to preserve the condition of the clothes a lot of accredited museums STRONGLY advise against loaning out clothing to be worn because with a lot of the older pieces the risk factors are very high. With older pieces those textiles may not exist anymore and also sweat and fragrance could ruin the fabrics as well if they get worn due to their delicacy. If the piece is owned by the museum they will most definitely say NO to every single pull request for them.
A lot of the clothing seen in fashion exhibitions are either on loan from the clothing brands extensive archive or either on loan from private collectors. So if there was ever a request, they might say YES for the right person. The private collectors might be more likely to say YES because a lot of them are dealers and they might want the press for their business but it still has to be for the RIGHT person.

Order The Quality Fabric Clothes From Certified Manufacturers
The fabric has undoubtedly become one of the most advantageous segments of the textile industry. People who utilize cloth in their homes or offices enjoy many delights from it. Since fabric has been shown to provide that comfort level in every way, it has earned a position in the populace's hearts. If you appreciate the pleasures that fabric offers, buying from sustainable clothing manufacturers will benefit you in ways that go beyond a few indulgences. Everyone is doing their hardest to get their money back and complete the tasks within the allocated budget.
 Different patterns to choose:
You can obtain the necessary patterns for various projects for a fraction of the price you spend in a typical craft store. If manufacturers can enhance the current fabrics available on the market, they will be successful. To create fabrics of the highest calibre, you need to know what kinds of fabrics yours are similar to. 
It would help if you studied the business plans of your rivals, put into practice the advice you feel will help your company expand, and eliminate or exclude the advice that does not. You can also opt to market your cloth to other importers, dealers, and sellers by doing online research on them and contacting them by phone calls, emails, or snail mail. The globe is smaller than ever thanks to developing technologies, making it easier to sell your textiles internationally.
Great support:
 However, it would help if you kept up with new developments in fabrics and textiles, such as developing technologies. Talking about these things with sewists could be helpful for you. You can gain intermediate-level math and scientific skills and understand how to make the fabrics as cheaply as possible and sell them to the appropriate merchants. Additionally, you need to have the resources to complete all of these jobs or the ability to negotiate resources and advantages to get the money from others.
 Should your credit score be exceptional, you may be eligible for a low-interest loan to assist you in meeting your financial obligations. If not, though, you'll need to use more imagination. You may contact other folks interested in forming a limited liability partnership and producing textiles. If you still need to, you may have to scale back your goals and take time growing the company. Therefore, you can wear quality clothes that will help keep your body active and fresh for the whole day.
Conclusion:
You can find the textiles of your choosing and buy them in bulk from suppliers nationwide, whether local to your city or available online. Benefit from lower costs and plenty of fabric for all your projects, including pillowcases and other crafts you can make into several different things. Even so, because sustainable fabric suppliers serve as middlemen, buying fabrics by the yard will still cost you a little bit more. However, if you import directly from the wholesaler and cut out the intermediary, you are making a purposeful purchase and grabbing the most excellent possible offer.

NPA Mitigation in Business Practices
Tumblr media
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) stand as a persistent challenge in India's financial sector. These are loans that haven't yielded expected returns due to borrowers' failure to meet repayment obligations. NPAs weaken banks' balance sheets, curtail credit flow, and hinder economic growth. Therefore, mitigating NPAs is crucial for fostering a robust financial ecosystem.
Understanding NPAs
NPAs are primarily categorized into two types: Substandard Assets and Doubtful Assets. Substandard Assets indicate the possibility of not being repaid fully, while Doubtful Assets signify a higher level of uncertainty regarding repayment.
Several factors contribute to the surge in NPAs, such as economic downturns, inadequate risk assessment, borrower insolvency, and policy or regulatory changes. Moreover, sectors like infrastructure, steel, textiles, and aviation have notably high NPA ratios, demanding specific attention for resolution.
Mitigation Strategies
Strengthening Credit Evaluation
Enhancing credit appraisal mechanisms is pivotal. Rigorous assessment of borrowers' creditworthiness, industry trends, and repayment capacity can mitigate the risk of NPAs. Employing robust risk management tools and embracing technological advancements in credit scoring aids in making informed lending decisions.
Prudent Loan Structuring
Adopting prudent loan structuring practices involves aligning repayment schedules with borrowers' cash flow projections. It ensures that repayment obligations are realistic and manageable, reducing the probability of defaults and consequent NPAs.
Uday Kotak, the founder and MD of Kotak Mahindra Bank, has often discussed the need for prudent management of NPAs and the role of banks in reducing these non-performing assets.
Also Read: NBFCs Vs Banks: Which One Is Better For Business Loans?
Early Detection and Resolution
Prompt identification of potential NPAs is vital. Implementing effective monitoring systems enables early detection, allowing timely intervention to prevent assets from deteriorating further. Initiating resolution mechanisms promptly, such as restructuring or recovery measures, helps salvage the assets before turning non-performing. 
Poonawalla Fincorp’s MD, Abhay Bhutada emphasized that they do not cater to the new-to-credit segment so as to maintain their Net NPA below 1 for year 2025.
Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs)
ARCs play a pivotal role in acquiring distressed assets from banks, aiding in their resolution. They specialize in turning around non-performing assets by infusing capital, restructuring, or selling them to investors, facilitating recovery and cleaning banks' balance sheets.
Strengthening Legal Framework
A robust legal framework expedites the recovery process. Streamlining legal procedures and establishing specialized tribunals or mechanisms for swift resolution of NPA cases expedites the recovery process, instilling confidence in lenders and investors.

The Way Forward
Efforts undertaken by regulatory bodies and financial institutions have shown promising results in mitigating NPAs. However, consistent vigilance and adaptability to changing economic scenarios remain imperative.
Enhanced transparency, accountability, and risk management practices are fundamental pillars for sustainable NPA mitigation. Collaboration among stakeholders—government, regulators, financial institutions, and borrowers—is critical for developing a resilient financial ecosystem.
Conclusion
Mitigating NPAs is a multifaceted endeavor requiring proactive measures, technological advancements, and robust risk management frameworks. A concerted effort aimed at enhancing credit evaluation, timely resolution, and a supportive legal ecosystem is paramount for mitigating NPAs, paving the way for a healthier financial landscape in India.

Textile Colorant Market Demand and SWOT Analysis 2019-2028 | Size, Share Growth, Trends, Development, Revenue, Future Growth, Business Prospects
The global textile colorant market is set to gain impetus from the high demand for natural dyes over synthetic ones because of their beneficial properties. They do not have carcinogenic & toxic chemicals, are itch-resistant, renewable, and have excellent UV absorption capacity. Various prominent boutiques and fashion houses are hence opting for these dyes for the manufacturing of their products. In May 2021, for instance, Akané Studio introduced a wide range of naturally dyed fabrics in the Indian market. This information is given by Fortune Business Insights™ in a report, titled, “Textile Colorant Market, 2021-2028.” As per the report, the market size was USD 9.16 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow from USD 9.42 billion in 2021 to USD 13.24 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.
Segments-
Technical Textiles Segment Held 4.1% Share in 2020: Fortune Business Insights™
Based on applications, the market is segregated into clothing, technical textiles, home textiles & carpets, and automotive textiles. Amongst these, the technical textiles segment procured 4.1% in terms of the textile colorant market share in 2020. This growth is attributable to the high demand for trekking clothes and sportswear on account of the shift of youngsters towards a healthy lifestyle.
Drivers & Restraints-
Availability of Unique Housing Benefits and High Spending Capacity to Boost Growth
The high demand for living spaces across the globe owing to the surging population is set to propel the textile colorant market growth in the upcoming years. Regulatory bodies nowadays are implementing novel housing benefits for citizens, such as home loan reduction schemes. Hence, many people prefer to buy and decorate their houses. They are majorly opting for the services of interior designers and architects for creating a cutting-edge identity for their homes. Products, namely, carpets, sofas, curtains, bedsheets, and cradles are gaining more popularity as the spending capacity of people is increasing rapidly. However, government agencies, such as REACH, have restricted the usage of specific types of dyes in consumer goods because of their harmful effects on humans. It may hamper the demand for textile colorant.
Regional Insights-
Presence of GAP, Adidas, Nike, and Calvin Klein to Help North America Grow
Geographically, Asia Pacific earned USD 4.24 billion in terms of revenue in 2020. It is estimated to remain at the forefront in the near future because of the availability of cheap labor and raw material. In North America, on the other hand, the presence of reputed clothing brands, such as Reebok, Nike, GAP, Adidas, Calvin Klein, and Hanes would propel the demand for textile colorant. Europe is expected to showcase significant growth on account of the ongoing infrastructure renovation activities.

Trends for sustainable Fashion
While the conversation around sustainability in fashion has grown in recent years, progress remains slow. In fact, a recent study by Stand.Earth found that only one of 10 major brands it looked at – all of which have signed up to the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action – was on track to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent by 2030 and keep in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C limit. 
The need for greater accountability from brands, then, is likely to be a strong focus next year. Addressing the issue of greenwashing will be key, as a raft of new legislation looks to crackdown on brands that are overstating or not telling the full truth about the eco-credentials of their products. Meanwhile, the 10-year anniversary of the devastating Rana Plaza collapse, when 1,134 people died following the collapse of a garment factory complex in Dhaka, Bangladesh, will see a renewed focus on the need for greater protection for garment workers.

Retailers embracing rental 
In recent years, we’ve seen a number of major retailers integrating resale onto their websites, as the demand for second-hand has grown. Now, it’s the turn of rental, with the likes of Selfridges, MatchesFashion and Harrods all now offering customers the opportunity to loan luxury pieces. Expect to see the trend continue, as companies explore more circular business models going forward. “I think five years from now every serious brand, and definitely every multi-brand retailer, will have rental [fashion] within their offering,” Victoria Prew, CEO and co-founder of rental platform Hurr, says in British Vogue’s January 2023 issue.
Tumblr media
Recycling technologies scaling up 
Recycling has long been a sticking point for the fashion industry, as less than one per cent of garments is currently turned into new clothes again. A number of innovators have been working to change that – including Swedish company Renewcell, via its recycled fibre Circulose that’s made from 100 per cent textile waste. “In 2023, I hope we’ll see the fruits of brands’ investment into recycled cellulosic fibres start to reach the consumer market in earnest,” George Harding-Rolls, campaigns manager at Changing Markets Foundation, comments. “There are small but sure signs that fashion’s much fêted circularity ambitions are starting to be stitched together.” 
Tumblr media
Moving towards regenerative materials
As well as reusing textiles that already exist, a growing number of brands are also looking to adopt more regenerative fibres – materials that are produced in a way that’s beneficial for ecosystems and improves biodiversity. Stella McCartney, for example, introduced regenerative cotton for the first time in her spring/summer 2023 collection . “In 2022, we saw some increased interest in regenerative agriculture,” Ashley Gill, Textile Exchange’s chief strategy officer, says. “There has been more connection and collaboration along the supply chain, and bigger commitments to biodiversity. We now need to move towards scaling these solutions, making them the new normal.” 
A greenwashing crackdown 
Over the past year, we’ve seen a tougher stance on greenwashing, with the Netherlands’ Authority For Consumer Markets cracking down on general terms such as “ecodesign” and “conscious”. Meanwhile, the Norway Consumer Markets Authority found that data used by H&M and Norrøna from the Higg Materials Sustainability Index could “easily be considered misleading” (the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, which is behind the Index, responded in a statement saying it was working with a regulator “to better understand how to substantiate product level claims with trusted and credible data”). 
It’s a trend that’s set to continue into the new year. “The European Union’s delayed legislative proposal on green claims will come out in early 2023, the [UK’s] Consumer Market Authority’s investigation into fashion brands should conclude, and we’re likely to see more actions like the cases brought by the Dutch and Norwegian authorities against fashion brands,” Harding-Rolls says.

Stronger protection for garment workers
There’s been a push for stronger protections for garment workers within the industry – as evidenced by the Garment Worker Protection Act in California that officially came into effect at the start of 2022. Since then, the European Union has unveiled its proposed human rights due diligence legislation, which would require businesses to address human rights issues across their supply chains, while the proposed Fashioning Accountability and Building Real Institutional Change (FABRIC) Act would offer greater protections for nearly 100,000 garment workers in the US. 
Meanwhile, the International Accord for Health and Safety, a legally-binding contract between brands and trade unions to ensure safe working conditions that was originally implemented after the Rana Plaza disaster, has now been extended beyond Bangladesh to Pakistan. “We know that thousands of workers are [now] safer thanks to the Accord in Bangladesh,” Ayesha Barenblat, founder and CEO of Remake, comments. “With the programme now headed to Pakistan, the unions and labour rights community are looking to leadership [from brands] in extending similar safety for Pakistani workers.” 
Tumblr media
Addressing the supply chain 
While fashion is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, climate change itself is also having an impact on the industry’s supply chain – ranging from extreme drought in Texas to the devastating floods across Pakistan. “The industry needs companies to transform the way they work with their supply chain to create production systems that are in balance with nature, preserving and positively benefiting not only ecosystems, but [local] communities and individuals,” Gill says.

Green transition an urgent need for sustainable export to EU: confab
To secure sustainable export to the EU, Vietnamese enterprises must adopt green production and apply high technology to meet the EU's strict technical and environmental standards, heard a seminar held in Hanoi on September 19. Participants in the event, organised by the Cong Thuong (Industry & Trade) magazine, pointed out that in the third year of implementing the EU - Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), the country’s export advantages and results have been partly affected by the EU’s further application of high standards and increase of special requirements related to environment and sustainability for imports. Ngo Chung Khanh, Deputy Director of the Multilateral Trade Policy Department at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said sustainable development is a chapter of the EVFTA, and it covers environmental and labour aspects. Unlike normal free trade agreements, sustainability forms a very important part of the EVFTA, so businesses exporting goods to the EU need to pay more attention to the issues mentioned in this deal, he went on. Nguyen Hong Loan, an expert of the technical assistance project on impact assessment of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), said the EU has long had very high environmental standards. These regulations have been tightened recently, starting with the approval of the European Green Deal that targets slashing the greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.  
Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, Director of the Centre for WTO and International Trade under the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), noted that the EU’s green or sustainability standards cover all the products considered strengths of Vietnam, including agricultural and fishery products, wood items, textile - garment, and leather - footwear. Therefore, the number and scope of affected Vietnamese businesses and exports are considerable. This is also a challenge to domestic firms since those standards require gradual changes towards sustainability, which means businesses have to keep frequent monitoring to ensure their adherence. Besides, the compliance with these standards also needs better awareness, greater efforts, and bigger expenses from businesses, especially small- and medium-sized ones, she added. Vuong Duc Anh, Chief of the Office of the Board of Directors at the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), said that to Vinatex, sustainable development is a long-term strategy that could not be carried out overnight or immediately. Therefore, the group will have to closely follow requirements of markets. Vinatex is working to ready strategic manpower for sustainable development by improving their awareness and equipping them with necessary knowledge. In particular, the pilot manufacturing of sustainable products will be costly but also necessary since sustainable development is definitely a target in its medium- and long-term strategies, Anh added./.

Importance of financial Independent
Be a Millinery $ is a dream of most of individual specially in a country like United States. This trend is increasing rapidly amongst the youngster of India. Basically, millinery is a state in which we can live a life that what we want, and what we want to do where finance do not create a problem for us, and we are not bound to do work for money which we don’t want to do, in this stage money work for us.
Financial independence is a stage where we get income even when we are not doing work and we have a constant money flow which helps to complete our daily needs. Many people now a days aware about this concept of financial independence.
In this article we are going to discuss about how to achieve financial independence in early age somewhat 30 to 35 years. This helps you a lot for about your financial goals and how to achieve it. Many of the people in young age of working spends a lot of money in parties, travelling, shopping and in other not much productive works. Though enjoying life is important and we should enjoy in our youthful and full of enthusiastic age but not much and always control your pocket is primary thing to become financial independence.
Tumblr media
Now the main thing you must know is about the FIRE movement, the term FIRE stands for Financial Independence Retire Early. According to this rule, let you suppose if your expense today is 4 Lakh rupees then you must invest twenty-five times of that money that is you have to invest approximately on crore rupees. The thing is that you are maintain this life for thirty years.
From your investment you can withdraw four percentage every year to maintain present lifestyle.
Now the question arises how can you do this much investment. The answer is simple but many people thought it is complex. But everything is looks complex or simpler until it is executed. For this you need to know about the things which are as given below:-
1) Invest your money in real estate
Real State is like a Kamdhenu Gay (A cow which gives you what you want). What you invest today and make property for rent, within five to 8 years and maximum 10 year you can recover your all-invested amount and upcoming years income is yours. Like you purchase a house with 6 rooms for 30 Lakh rupees today on loan, a loan helps to some rebates in income tax. And if you rent these room each in 5000 rupees and with 6 rooms you can earn monthly around Thirty Thousand and yearly around Three Lakhs Sixty Thousands which means you can recover all your money within 8-9 years as the property price increases then rental yield remains the same but the rents increases. After that all the income is yours and you can utilise and invest further for financial independence.
2) Invest your money in stocks
Yes you read write you have to invest your money in buying stocks of different companies. For purchasing stocks of different companies once you know about the 15-20 years scope of that company and also to check the debt-to-equity ratio of company, past long term performance of the stocks and also checks the future of that company, for this you can consult to Brokers and check trends through multiple applications like Groww, etc.
3) Create a side business
for earn money you have to work other than your regular work so that you can increasing your income and can invest more money. In today’s time we can create our side business through digital marketing, YouTube, through different social media networking side to promote our business like textile, toys, etc. We can work as an affiliating marketing team of different online shopping sites such as amazon, flipkart and can earn commission from promoting such products.
4) SIP
The term SIP stands for Systematic Investment Plan, in this we invest our fix amount per month and it deducts automatically from our accounts to different mutual funds. It is simpler than stocks selecting. In this system thousands of people join in mutual funds, the company collects money and invest in different stocks. In this case you can expect return more than Fixed Deposits.
5) Fixed Deposits
Though Fixed Deposit is not a good area to invest money. Because its interest rates can only beat inflation and sometimes even inflation can not beaten by Fixed Deposits. But it is a safe medium, so it is suggested to have Fixed Deposit for emergency and for relaxing purpose. But again you can not expect more than that from Fixed Deposits.
Apart from this there are multiple sources so that you can create your passive income and become financial independent. Passive income is that in which you even doing nothing but your wealth is increasing and you can get income, where you are not working for money but money works for you.
Mr. Warren Buffet in the world and Shri Rakesh Jhujhunwala of India is best example of how they created massive passive income through stock market.
Again it is suggested to become financial independent you need to mentally strong, must have growth mindset, curious for knowledge. And what is discuss about SIP, stock market, Real estate is the best thing which helps to create passive income to become financially stable, Mentally relaxing and your aim to retire early and to live your life you want to live in early age, because a person of sixty years cannot live, because he/she have to think about his/her children but not in case of a young enthusiastic person.
